I think the only thing I've seen of his is Paranorman...though he is apparently a big part of a mini-series/TV movie on Gallipoli that is currently airing down here...he IS an Australian, you know. Might have to check out some of his other stuff...

i scrolled through my twitter this morning and FREAKED THE FLIP OUT!!! This is really exciting. I like this casting choice. He's attractive, but not too attractive. Slender, experienced, talented. I'm really looking forward to this. SQUEEEEE!!!

Yeah, I saw this late last night! Very cool! Now, hopefully, since this is the younger version, maybe they will dispense with the weird scarification thing, which I always found off-putting. And give him more of a personality.

HE WAS ALSO IN The Road! TREMENDOUS FILM! [WARNING! Link is super sad]

In the original "Let Me In" (called "Let The Right One In" but it's Swedish) the story is exceptionally dark. Example here.

The remake, while interesting and decent in its own way, is slightly more optimistic, but still a horror flick. It's visuals, in terms of cinematography, match the creativity of it's original, but as far as American remakes go, it's a very decent successor.

"Superhero Hype caught up with 18 yo actor Kodi Smit-McPhee who plays a younger version of Nightcrawler in X-MEN: APOCALYPSE.

The actor says he connected with director Bryan Singer early on and became his first choice for the role. “I just had a meeting with Bryan Singer and we hit it off and spoke a lot about our own interests in quantum physics and the spiritual world, so we hit it off, and then I just did an audition and they were saying, ‘Bryan wanted you the whole time [for Nightcrawler] so let’s get the auditions done with.’ I can’t wait to connect up with him on set. It will be such a different environment.”

Smit-McPhee says he’s looking at all iterations of Nightcrawler for his performance, researching the comics, cartoons and the previous portrayal by Alan Cumming in X2. “I don’t try to avoid it [imitating Alan Cumming], and I don’t try to keep it in mind. I just let things come naturally. Because it is the Marvel Universe and X-Men and there are a lot of people expecting a lot of things, I did a huge amount of research on anyone who has portrayed it and even in the comics and the cartoons and live action. I just followed Nightcrawler’s story. I feel very honored and grateful to be expressing that now. I can’t wait.

“They have the ability to bring these younger characters in now, so I think a lot of the people who know the traditional origins of where this came from will be very happy.”

The picture was already taken off Bryan Singer's instagram, but a quick search online will find you the image, available in still, gif, or video. Worth noticing: no scars, which is good. Fun eighties hair and outfit. And a splash of red and black on his shoulders, an homage to the comics. Maybe we'll see a comics style costume in this one! I think it looks great and I'm excited to see more!

Looks like a blatant photoshop job to me. I mean, ... GOOD photoshop job. But... a bit like a really well done cosplay if someone with experience/Hollywood tech and resources helped them make it.
Still...

I love the look, now let's see it in action so we can know we don't have another Beast from First Class on our hands...

Can't figure out how topost just the pic from my iPad...but if you scroll down...Kurt's still got those damn scars...and some nice, appropriately 80s blue streaks in his hair. How many sins could a pretween have actually committed?

Interesting that Mystique was the one to 'rescue' him though. Guess she knew where to look
